TONIGHT!! Senator Adam Schiff @schiff.senate.gov and Comedian, Actor & Producer, @hasanminhaj.com join the panel on an ALL NEW episode of Have I Got News For You 9p ET on @cnn.com and streaming next day on the CNN app.

So, a federal agent killed Renee Good. Top Trump Admin officials mobilized to defame Good and lie about the nature of her death. Then, they immediately obstructed the investigation into Good’s killing. A killing and a coverup. An outrageous injustice.

This post is the GOAT.

“The proposal that is now sitting before the Senate [gives ICE and CBP more funds]. Instead of cutting those agencies another big check from taxpayer money, Congress should use its constitutional power over spending to pull back the funding it gave DHS in July.” www.justsecurity.org/130972/exper...

“Our nation’s landmark environmental laws are meaningless when EPA does not enforce the rules,” Jen Duggan, executive director of the Environmental Integrity Project, said in a statement. insideclimatenews.org/news/0502202... (It's just air, water, soil, food, health, huntin' & fishin', etc. /s)

SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?” @acyn.bsky.social

Wow

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

This from Douglas is so very on point — and not at all subtle.

Howard Lutnick went to Jeffrey Epstein's island 5 days before Lutnick and Epstein went into business together. 12/23/2012 — Lutnick goes to Epstein's island. 12/28/2012 — Lutnick and Epstein sign a stock purchase agreement.

they accuse immigrants of stealing from the government because they are stealing from the government

like it’s all just very very simple and yet here we are

It’s not particularly sophisticated but I kind of think that the most straightforward way to understand trumpism is that we have a morally depraved group of fascists who have successfully persuaded a significant chunk of the public to accept their psychological projections as reality

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

That highly classified whistleblower report Tulsi Gabbard covering up? Guardian reports it’s an NSA intercept of a call between a close Trump associate and “an individual associated with foreign intelligence.” Sounds similar to Trump’s campaign chair meeting Russian intel and sharing data in 2016.

I’m reminded how in the Eastman coup memo, he outlines an elaborate roleplaying scenario where Democrats are cowed into submission because… there’s a Larry Tribe quote that maybe sorta supports them if you squint. Toddlers have a stronger theory of mind.

Where is Jonathan Ross? A month ago he killed Renee Good. Is he on the streets, armed and ready to take more lives? Is he in a cushy office somewhere, living a good life off the taxpayer dime. Is he at a training facility, teaching feds to step in front of cars, kill, and say they were afraid?

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

Netanyahu is meeting Trump in DC on Wednesday to discuss Iran.

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

New study finds that when AI imagines Neanderthals, it produces images from the 1980s and text from the 1960s. The gap between generative models and current scholarship is wider than you’d think. #Neanderthals #AI #Archaeology www.anthropology.net/p/when-ai-im...

oh man www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The gall. He shot a woman who posed no threat to him and then boasted about it as he and his colleagues falsely maligned *her* reputation to cover it up. The only question should whether his texts are admitted as evidence at his criminal trial.

And never forget. These are asylum seekers. This is what the USA is doing to the most vulnerable people on the planet who we promised to protect.

He pleaded with them to stop but they just “laughed at me and hit me again.” “They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Not sure if anyone has noticed a pattern that everything this administration does seems to benefit Moscow: weaken alliance credibility and deterrence and signal unpredictability.

Kash Patel, a podcaster selected because of his fierce loyalty to the President, told FBI agents not to investigate the details on Renee Good's shooting because it would contradict the President. Fact matter less than the King's opinion in a personalist regime.

Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal. @passantino.bsky.social has the details in his Saturday @status.news column: www.status.news/p/washington...

🤦‍♂️

Another US lethal strike on a boat, this one in the eastern Pacific. Total attacks now up to 38, killing at least 128. As with previous boat bombings, in violation of US law and international treaties, without any causus beli, when the US wasn’t attacked, and hasn’t even advanced stated goals.

SCOOP: The NSA detected a phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump last spring. Whistleblower says that Tulsi Gabbard blocked agency from sharing report and delivered it to White House chief of staff. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

this may be the single most insufferable thing about the radical centrist caucus - not just extending good faith to obviously bad faith people but demanding everyone else do the same and chiding them when they don’t

A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

I don't think we have to engage properly with Matt Goodwin talking about birth rates, he's just trying to signal that he wants more white people, it's not really anything beyond that.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)
